If China is bad, and the US is good, then why wouldn’t we want our military to have access to the same (or better) tooling than they have access to.

I’m so morally dilemma’d here

Meta, a US company, allows the US military to use its models. Omg! Let me clutch my pearls.

What’s the moral dilemma? China already took their model and is using it in their military.

Do you guys not want our military to have access to all of the possible tools they can?

You mad about Ford and GM building trucks and vehicles parts for the military too? Are you mad about Microsoft selling windows to the govt?

You just upset that it’s the military?

Where’s this line that’s been drawn where this is a moral dilemma??

It’s really funny because Cory always champions POSSE. Post (on)own site, share everywhere.

And it’s funny because he mostly does that.

Hi! It’s me, the guy you discussed this with the other day! The guy that said Lemmy is full of AI wet blankets.

I am 100% with Linus AND would say the 10% good use cases can be transformative.

Since there isn’t any room for nuance on the Internet, my comment seemed to ruffle feathers. There are definitely some folks out there that act like ALL AI is worthless and LLMs specifically have no value. I provided a list of use cases that I use pretty frequently where it can add value. (Then folks started picking it apart with strawmen).

I gotta say though this wave of AI tech feels different. It reminds me of the early days of the web/computing in the late 90s early 2000s. Where it’s fun, exciting, and people are doing all sorts of weird,quirky shit with it, and it’s not even close to perfect. It breaks a lot and has limitations but their is something there. There is a lot of promise.

Like I said else where, it ain’t replacing humans any time soon, we won’t have AGI for decades, and it’s not solving world hunger. That’s all hype bro bullshit. But there is actual value here.

The fuck is bitnet

Lemmy is hilariously reactionary and fickle. Never found a windmill that couldnt be tilted at.

I’m not sure why that still surprises me considering it’s made up of a ton of people who self selected to leave a site in protest.

I know that ploum blog post gets cited way too often on Lemmy, but this is a situation where I think Google has either intentionally or inadvertently executed a variation of the “embrace, extend, extinguish” playbook that Microsoft created.

They embraced open source, extended it until they’ve practically cornered the market on browser engine, and now they are using that position to extinguish our ability to control our browsing experience.

I know they are facing a possibly “break up” with the latest ruling against them.

It would be interesting to see if they force divestiture of chrome from the ad business. The incentives are perverse when you do both with such dominance and its a massive conflict of interest.

I’m gonna desalinization your butt if you keep it up Mango!

I’m pretty sure you don’t pay with telemetry data.

Lol,maybe because Hezbollah rockets are getting launched and we’d like to shoot them down before US personnel are killed potentially escalating this even further?

Yea, who is actively participating on linkedin? Especially to the point where this is an issue?

Windows will mostly just be a kiosk for Edge.

I think for the vast majority of average users this has been true for a long time.

Meh, that’s too much bloat.

Another way to encourage interoperability is to use the government to hold out a carrot in addition to the stick. Through government procurement laws, governments could require any company providing a product or service to the government to not interfere with interoperability. President Lincoln required standard tooling for bullets and rifles during the Civil War, so there’s a long history of requiring this already. If companies don’t want to play nice, they’ll lose out on some lucrative contracts, “but no one forces a tech company to do business with the federal government.”

That’s actually a very interesting idea. This benefits the govt as much as anyone else too. It reduces switching costs for govt tech.

I’ve heard someone call it billionaire brain rot. I think at some point you end up with so much money and not enough people telling you no, that it literally changes your brain.

Seems likely.

I literally couldn’t pass one for something I needed to access.

I had to switch to the audio thing eventually and it took me multiple tries with that. I should just write a script that uses a fucking bot next time.

Oh umm. I would never make my password this…

I think if you do allow 8 character passwords the only stipulation is that you check it against known compromised password lists. Again, pretty reasonable.

More like: big money and corporate lobbying is ruining democracy. These are just the big boys.

The only response to that should have been a “too soooon!” Followed by uproarus laughter

That’s a hilarious retort imo.
